Foundations for Practical Autonomic Computing (AC)

Project Summary

Information infrastructure is facing a crisis of complexity. The international software base, global network connectivity, and the interactions among those elements have been growing at a remarkable pace while our collective ability to assess, administer, and repair has lagged behind. When the trends are taken together, the resulting expense and complexity is unsustainable.

This project will investigate technical, economic, business, and social aspects of autonomic computing from the points of view of security and robustness in consumer technologies that "real people" are most likely to use and operate. The effort will focus on self-aware aspects of autonomic systems, building on prior work done at Dartmouth.
